It says AngularJS is killed off. That doesn't sound right... can someone fill me in?

View on HN

As mentioned... it's Angular "1" and it's planned for July 2021 when LTS ends.

Thanks for clearing that up!

This feels like it probably doesn't belong on this site. We don't say Google "killed" Android (Nougat), it's just an old EOL version. I've not used Angular, so maybe there are some salient differences I'm not appreciating.

The differences between AngularJS and Angular are roughly at the same level as the differences between Angular and React or Angular and jQuery.

Even so, it's not exactly comparable to killing a service. If you really want to continue using Angular 1, you can. You can even fork it and keep it up to date yourself. That's completely different from abandoning a proprietary service.

Lots of people don't like Angular-non-js, since it makes a lot of breaking changes and, among other things, switches to Typescript. AngularJS going EOL is effectively equal to it dying.

Angular, a typescript based framework is different from AngularJS a javascript based framework even though that have the same root name

Google killed AngularJS.

See: https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/version-support-status

Looks like it will get security patches through parts of next year.

Angular, the successor to AngularJS is still alive and kicking.

I tweeted the site owner he refused to remove it. According to him its angular js is killed

This isn’t a great example, it’s succeeded by “Angular”, v2 of AngularJS.

Angular 1, not Angular 2 or more accurately, AngularJS was killed off and superseded by Angular.
